The new westbound off-ramp on Interstate 84 at Exit 208 is set to open to traffic tomorrow. This will allow drivers access to State Highway 27.

Changes in traffic patterns include a reduction to one lane in each direction on SH-27 through October 2025. Drivers will be routed onto the newly constructed northbound lanes as crews begin work on the new southbound lanes and structure over I-84. Additionally, I-84 westbound traffic will shift onto the new concrete pavement section at SH-27.

Signage has been placed to guide motorists through the project area, and drivers are urged to watch for work crews and exercise caution in work zones.

Construction began in 2024 to update the Heyburn and Burley Interchanges to meet increasing traffic demands, with completion expected in 2026. The project is part of Idaho Governor Little’s Leading Idaho transportation initiative, which aims to enhance safety, improve mobility, strengthen Idaho’s economy, and positively impact communities across the state.
